The project was set up by brothers Terry and John Boylan, with leading jazz session musicians including Larry Coryell and Eric Gale.[1] The album was essentially a loosely woven concept album, comprising a collage of interlaced vocal narratives, sound effects, song fragments, and pop songs such as "Hightower Square" and "I Wonder If Louise Is Home".[2] It was issued on the Verve Forecast label and was finally reissued on CD in 2007. John Lennon referred to it as one of his favourite albums.[3]
In the wake of the set's commercial failure, Terry went solo, releasing three albums as a singer-songwriter, while John reappeared as a member of the short-lived Hamilton Streetcar, before turning his attention to production with the Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, and others.[4]
